INSTALLATION
The MX1204 is designed for indoor use. Never use in a location where the unit may get
wet.
NEVER defeat the safety ground provision of the IEC power cord.
The console has ventilation slots on the sides of the enclosure. Do not install the console
in such a way as to block airflow through the unit.
CONNECTOR WIRING
You will need many cables to complete the installation. Many more will be required for signal
patching during sessions. Pre-fabricated cables may not always fit your needs and sometimes
onsite repairs are necessary. The following illustrations show the correct connector wiring.

MONO MIC/LINE INPUT CHANNELS (1 - 4)
DETAILS ON PAGE 4
There are four identical MONO input channels located on
the left of the console. These channels are organized
vertically. At the top is an XLR microphone (MIC) input
jack. 48V “phantom” power is available for condenser
MICs. Next is a
¼” Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) line level (LINE)
input jack. Each MONO channel can be used as either a
MIC or LINE input. The other controls provide a wide
variety sound shaping and gain adjustments as well as
signal routing and external processing.
STEREO INPUTS (5/6 - 7/8)
DETAILS ON PAGE 5
There are two STEREO inputs (4 mono channels). These
channels are organized just like the MONO MIC/LINE
channels and have the same controls and capabilities.
However, no MIC inputs are provided. The line level
in
puts are balanced ¼” TRS jacks.
MAIN MIX AND ALT 3/4 CONTROLS
DETAILS ON PAGE 8
After all sources have been selected, equalization set and
effects loops created, all sources are summed onto the
LEFT/RIGHT MAIN BUS and the ALT 3/4 BUS are used
to control the overall leve
l of the “mix”. There are
numerous routing options from this point forward. Here,
you will find the controls for the MAIN MIX level, ALT 3/4
level, AUX send and return, control room and
headphones.
INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
DETAILS ON PAGE 9
Here you will find all remaining input and output
connections. This is where the MX1204 interfaces with the
rest of the studio.
